Yup. I think you right leenia I think you can write sings about what your reactions are to it & how it affected you personally but beyond that I think it is profound arrogance. 'Caps and shawls' F*** me thats crap. Trying to write like you were there is just so wrong. "past the schoolyard in the morning"- only if they lived in the Grove and walked along the bank. 'The dancers...' where to start, oh boy. "phone to Swansea" eh? What's swanea got to do with it. Swansea got its own problems. Pretend you are making a good old fashioned documentary film and check out what you write. It's not like it's a hundred years ago. It matters. PS whats worse was the money they took to clear the tips. Not long paid back- by the Welsh Assembly Government.
